\nANCHORAGE, Alaska \u2014 Everything in the closing Blockbuster video stores in Alaska is for sale, except the celebrity jockstrap.
The Anchorage store is not yet selling the jockstrap worn by Russell Crowe in the 2005 movie \u201cCinderella Man\u201d and other memorabilia previously owned by the actor, KTUU-TV reported.
The stores in Anchorage and Fairbanks, the last two stores in the state, closed for rentals this week and reopened for video liquidation sales planned to run through August.
Blockbuster\u2019s last stores in Alaska closing, leaving 1 store in US
The host of HBO\u2019s \u201cLast Week Tonight with John Oliver\u201d sent the items earlier this year to display in the Anchorage store in an effort to ramp up business. Oliver had purchased the items at what Crowe had dubbed \u201cthe divorce auction.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019re not selling the jockstrap at this time,\u201d said Kevin Daymude, general manager of Blockbuster Alaska. \u201cBut if you want, you can own the display cases it was placed in. We\u2019re selling all of those along with the store fixtures.\u201d
The fate of the items has not yet been determined, said Alan Payne, the owner of the stores.
\u201cWe\u2019ve been very busy managing through the last store closures and have not made a decision on what to do with the Russell Crowe memorabilia,\u201d Payne said. \u201cWill deal with it after the store closing sales are complete.\u201d
The closures of the Alaska Blockbusters leave one U. S. store remaining in Bend, Oregon.<\/p>\n
